New-York Cannibals is an invitation to open the door to the universe created by François Boucq and Jérôme Charyn throughout their collaboration punctuated by albums such as The Magician’s Wife, ed. Casterman, 1986; Devil’s mouth, ed. Casterman, 1990; From the belly of the beast New York, DS Editions, 1994; and Little Tulip, ed. Le Lombard, 2014, which opens the cycle continued with New-York Cannibals.
New-York Cannibals also invites you to explore New York. The New York beyond Manhattan, the “Five Boroughs”, Queens, Brooklyn, Breezy Point or Staten Island. The New York of peripheral neighborhoods in perpetual turmoil, irrigated by the flow of immigration, a source of energy, ethnic, social and cultural diversity but also exclusion and social tensions.
Read New-York Cannibals also makes you want to (re) see the diptych Smoke and Brooklyn Boogie, by Wayne Pang and Paul Auster, released in 1995, a magnificent declaration of love for New York City from another great contemporary American writer who has devoted most of his work to it.
